Recently, I was able to test a Gorewear x Jeremy Collins Spinshift Long Sleeve Jersey. This long sleeve road bike jersey currently comes in two stylish color options at the time of this review. Gorewear offers the Spinshift jersey in both short and long sleeves.

This special edition long sleeve version showcases renowned artist Jeremy Collins style and was inspired by a bike tour through the Italian Dolomites. The fabric is lightweight polyester/elastane that does provide ample sun protection on covered areas. The jersey does wick moisture very well.

The test rides: For this jersey, I tested a high-visibility “Fireball/Multicolor” pattern. As a person that rides at high altitudes and on roads where there are tourists watching the beautiful scenery more than the road, I want to wear something that stands out!

This jersey fits the bill for several of my needs; visibility, sun protection, warmth (for high altitudes), and breathability.. The fabric is thinner than my insulated long-sleeve jerseys yet is a nice middle ground that I find myself wearing more often. It is a very comfortable and snug fitting fabric on the skin. This jersey pairs well with a light jacket for the cool fall mornings that will be coming in just a few short months. If you fancy a light, breathable long sleeve jersey, this may fill your needs.

The details: On the practical side, these jerseys come with three rear pockets and a zip pocket. The rear pockets have ample space for a rolled up light jacket or gilet, food or even a water bottle. These jerseys come in sizes from XS to XL. The Jeremy Collins special design comes in two colors; Black/Lab Gray and Fireball/Multicolor.
